Why we must transition from ocean hunters to ocean farmers
In short: With nearly 3 billion people relying on the sea for sustenance, our current consumption rates are outpacing natural replenishment. This talk explores how aquaculture can provide a sustainable path forward for global food security.
Entrepreneur and conservationist Mike Velings argues that the world is approaching a significant food crisis due to overfishing. He suggests a fundamental shift in perspective: treating the ocean as a space for farming rather than just hunting.
Velings emphasizes that future consumer demand will prioritize fish that are farmed both well and healthily, suggesting that responsible aquaculture is not just an alternative, but a necessity for feeding a growing population.
